| Scott Lewis Monmouth, ME | My Grandfather, Thomas Atkins, built models for the Smithsonian, National Geographic Museum and many individuals to include Mamie Eisenhower, a model of the submarine Nautilus that was given as a gift to President Harry S. Truman.
A model I revently received from my family was that of a VE-7 Vought. A pristine model my Grandfather built at some point in his career. 02/18/2007 @ 18:23 [ref: 15574] |

www.vought.com/museum/index.htm and a Restoration division. We have completed an A-7B and a Regulus II Missile and are working an F8 and RF8. We will soon start on the V-173 Flying Pancake.

| Garnet Brace , ON | The VE-7 was used by NACA for a number of tests in the
early '20s. The reports are available on line for download as pdf files. Some of these contain three view drawings and very poor quality photo images.
